Orca Systems, Inc. (www.orcasystems.com),
a fabless RF semiconductor company based in Poway, Calif., today
announced that Onida, a leading Indian consumer electronics
manufacturer, has selected Orca’s ORC5305 silicon tuner for its Next
Generation LED televisions. The ORC5305 is a single-chip, CMOS-based,
hybrid TV tuner that can receive both analog and digital signals from
either terrestrial or cable networks.

“Reception of signals through terrestrial and cable networks is very
important for our TV customers,” said Suresh Kumar, general manager of
research & development at MIRC Electronics Ltd., Onida’s parent company.
“We are excited to offer our next generation LED TVs with best-in-class
reception performance using ORCA’s silicon tuner.”

Added Guruswami Sridharan, CEO and founder of Orca Systems: “Our ORC5305
offers leading television manufacturers such as Onida the high
performance of CAN tuners with an ultra-small, slim footprint, high
interference rejection, and the ability to pick up weak signals or
signals with a wide dynamic range from various networks. By
incorporating Orca’s proprietary DSP-RF-based tuner technology, Onida is
well positioned to deliver compelling new LED TV products to consumers
in the growing Indian electronics market and to continue building on its
quality brand image.”

Orca will be demonstrating analog TV (NTSC/PAL/SECAM) and
DVB-T/DVB-T2/DVB-C reception using its ORC5305 TV tuner chip at the 2013
International CES in Las Vegas (Jan. 8-11). The Orca suite (LVH2450) is
in the Central Tower of the Las Vegas Hotel (formerly the Hilton). Those
